Better in Concept Than Execution; Internet Art Critic Hennessy Youngman Presents “CVS Bangers,” a Mellow Shopping Mix
“CVS Bangers is the Audioscape for when you’re buying tampons or a 12 pack of condoms, a sampling of those magic tunes that play when you’re contemplating how ridiculous you would look carrying carrying 24 rolls of toilet paper on the train, those bittersweet tunes of yesterday that skip through your mind as you read the nutritional information on the back of a box of frozen pizza and opt for a pint of ice cream instead, those special ditties that accompany your smashing the bar code of a can of red bull against the scanner of broken self-checkout machine. CVS Bangers is commerce itself, and commerce, my faceless internet friends, is beautiful.”

Drug Dub 1989-94
“In an illuminating video history, London-based music journalist Joe Muggs explores the altered states of early British rave’s interzones. This is about liminal zones, about what’s revealed when categories melt down, about the fractal edges of culture – and about all those other places you find yourself inhabiting when you’ve done too much acid. By my reckoning, 1989 to 1993 or 4 (as well as coinciding with my late teens) are the years when the British rave scene was, if not unified, then at least orbiting the same strange attractor. And during that time, the place where you could find the most overlap, the most blurring between sub-sects and scenes, was in the back rooms where people were so hopped up, blissed out or just plain fucked that they’d listen to anything. This is where tempos dropped and rules relaxed, and producers and DJs went right out on a limb, united across scenes by lysergic curlicues and a constant low-end pulse of dub.”
